I was born in Texas

Lampasas County
Back during the war

Small Pox and Comanches
Took most of my family

On the Montana range

In the Spring of the year '82
We left ol' Lampasas

With two thousand steers

For the Little Big Horn

Well we crossed at Doan's Store
Into the Indian nation

All welcomed us there

But she's all cut-and-dry now
And the trails are all gone

I've been to Yellowstone Park
In an automobile

I came off of the trails

When cowboys was king
My name is Bob Fudge
I died in Montana
